Wooden Boardwalk and Paved Area Division

A clear division of materials along the shoreline. The main walkways and plazas are made of durable concrete, granite blocks, or asphalt, designed to withstand foot traffic and vehicles. Wooden or composite material boardwalks are used only where elevated structures are needed to cross mudflats, protect vegetation, or create waterside platforms, and these are localized, short sections. The boundary between the two materials is a clean, straight line. Avoid: paving the entire waterfront with wooden boardwalks, using wood in locations that will be submerged for long periods, having fragmented and interspersed transitions between wood and hard paving, or using imitation wood-grain plastic paving.

一段材料分工清楚的岸線。主要的步道與廣場是耐用的混凝土、花崗石塊或瀝青,承受人流與車輛;只有在需要架高跨過泥灘、保護植被或做成親水平台的位置才使用木或複合材的棧道,而且是局部的短段。兩種材料的交界是一條乾淨的直線。避免:整段水岸都鋪木棧道、把木材用在會長期泡水的位置、讓木與硬鋪的交界零碎穿插、使用仿木紋的塑料鋪面。
